Regular was like 3.07 here yesterday when I topped off the escort and got lawnmower gas. I hope the gas prices do not go too much higher. My daily driver is a 1970 F-100 longbed. I am about to put an E-150 with a 460 on the road. I guess I gotta start driving the gokart (escort) back and forth to work more.

Yeah, and now Purdhoe Bay is being shut down. Look out, that's 8% of our usage, do you think that means another 8% increase at the pump? I think it means at least 15% increase. The producers have been trying every excuse to raise our gasoline prices above $3 a gallon; never to see $3 again.
This sounds like spam but I'm gonna put it out there anyway. Why curse the darkness, when you can light a candle? I have the business plan for Candle Energy which can convert pig manure, chicken litter and human sludge into diesel fuel or pure ethanol by simple chemical reactions. I have been working on this for about 3 years now but can't seem to get it off the ground.
Just think though, with all the mass chicken farms, hog production and the cities that are begging for a place for the sludge; how much of our dependence on foriegn oil we can replace. Using waste to make fuel, not food products like corn for ethanol or soybeans for diesel.

For those interested, I happened to come across this site yesterday:
http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html#start

Not quite ready to try making biodiesel myself, but I'm keeping the possibility in my sites. We're selling one of our pick-ups and going down to one for the both of us, we just can't justify having something we can't afford to drive! Looking into mopeds now

PS-just paid 3.37/gal to fill up my truck here in MD

Oh, off topic, but I noticed the other day that bottled water costs as much or more than gas... seems strange to me! I still can't bring myself to buy water, I'll drink from the tap till it kills me...then maybe gov't will have a reason to clean up our waterways!

On Langley AFB gas as like 2.85 yesterday for regular and 2.95 for mid and 3.07 for premium. I haven't checked prices today. Those are gas prices on a military base though. Off base Hampton VA the prices are about 10 cents more. I drive a dodge ram 1500 and luckly I live three miles one way from work, cause I can't afford to go anywhere else with the bad city milage I get (10.3).

Well D when gas gets 'spensive seems like the taxes on it allways cause more of a fuss. I have heard that they only cover like 60% of road costs, so it is still better then having to pay a per mile fee that would actualy reflect the total cost of building and maintaining roads.

If we build less roads....less tax....problem is I live in Corrupticate.
We need to have more mass transit ...or better yet less sprawl.

Just a rant....pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

Since when did a President really have any power with the fools running the House and Senate really decide.

That is why the Presidents usually have higher approval ratings than the Congress - Historically and today. Somehow the senators and congressman can get away with murder and are not called to answer indiviually even though the public does not trust them as a group.

Phatboy

I like the way you think, Mudmixer.

The other problem: Americans as a whole are too chicken to overthrow our corrupt government. Which by the way is a constitutional right given to us by our ''forefathers.'' They are litterally eating our lunch, and takeing our freedom one bill at a time, and were just sitting idley by and saying itll get better one day.

NEWS FLASH...you keep throwing steak at a lion hes gonna keep eating it. We keep letting the government screw us and they are going to keep doing it as long as it bennifits them.
